Floating Cloud Sword Sect 164. The suzerain accepts disciples
"Why did the sect master say that? Are the disciples of the other eight sects really so powerful!" Lu Chen said with some surprise. He was focused on improving his strength, so he never paid attention to what happened in Kyushu. Naturally, he also paid attention to the geniuses on the Qianlong List.
Nothing to understand.
Murong Xuan sighed softly: "Lu Chen, to tell you the truth, this Qianlong Competition has not even started yet, and the new version of the Qianlong Ranking has already been widely circulated outside. The top ten geniuses are basically from the eight major universities.
The sect, as well as the six major forces, the most popular among them are Li Mengjun of Xuanyin Pavilion, Guan Zhen of Hell Gate, and Jianxin of Wanjian Villa!"
"Li Mengjun!" Lu Chen was shocked. He didn't expect that even the sect leader had heard about it. Li Mengjun was indeed the leading genius in Yangzhou. When she came to Wushuang City with her father to visit the Lu family, Lu Chen's father once praised her as one of the best among people.
Longfeng's talent is astonishing, and his reputation is indeed not in vain. In just a few years, he has become famous in Kyushu!
Murong Xuan said: "Yes, these people are all the pinnacle figures of the younger generation, and they also represent the faces of these eight major sects. Whoever can win the crown of the Qianlong List can be said to have a higher reputation in the sect."
, has a huge impact on the people of Kyushu!"
Since the last sectarian war broke out, Kyushu has been in a state of recuperation for nearly a hundred years. On the surface, it has been living in harmony and keeping its peace. However, the Qianlong Competition is undoubtedly the first thing that can attract the attention of the eight major sects at the same time.
After all, if a disciple of your sect can be ranked on the Qianlong List, it will bring glory to the sect. Who doesn't want his disciples to have a few more masters on the Qianlong List to win popularity for the sect in the land of Kyushu?
Therefore, this Hidden Dragon Ranking is more cruel and fierce than imagined, and the characters who can be ranked in the top ten are all the pride of the prominent party. Regardless of their strength or talent, they are definitely at the pinnacle of Kyushu.
Liuyun Sword Sect has been declining over the years, and its power has declined. Not only has its strength shrunk significantly throughout the day, but the disciples trained by the sect are also mixed, and they are not as good as before. There are 108 geniuses on the Qianlong List, although there are three geniuses under the sect.
, the highest ranking is only in the top twenty.
Comparatively speaking, the Qingyi Sect is only a second-rate force in Qingzhou, but its disciple Li Tianxing is able to rank among the top fifteen in terms of strength, which is a slap in the face to the Sword Sect.
After all, Liuyun Sword Sect is one of the eight major sects, but it is not even as good as a second-rate sect in training disciples. It is simply a joke to tell it.
As the leader of the Sword Sect, Murong Xuan felt deeply disgraced and disappointed with his disciple Ye. However, Lu Chen, who had suddenly become famous in the Sword Sect recently, came into his sight and his eyes lit up.
Lu Chen is top-notch among the younger generation in terms of both his understanding and personal strength. He is even better than the core disciples in the sect, so he deliberately focuses on cultivating them. Liuyun Sword Sect has declined too fast.
Someone needs to carry this banner, and Lu Chen is undoubtedly the best candidate!
Simply speaking, Lu Chen's performance did not disappoint him, but was even better than he imagined. How could Murong Xuan be unhappy? With such a talented person, the rise of Liuyun Sword Sect is just around the corner!
"Oh, it turns out that the Qianlong List is related to the sect's reputation, no wonder the sect leader attaches so much importance to it!" Lu Chen said thoughtfully.
"Hey!" Murong Xuan sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "If the disciples in the sect are excellent, why should I be like this!"
If a sect wants to rise and maintain its long-term prosperity, cultivating disciples is definitely the top priority. Only by passing on the fire and continuing it from generation to generation can the sect survive in the long term. It is a pity that the Sword Sect has been in the territory under its jurisdiction in recent years.
Talented and talented young people are selected from all over for training, but the qualifications of most of these disciples are uneven, making it difficult for them to carry out large-scale tasks. If this continues, the decline of the Sword Sect is a certainty.
Murong Xuan Wen Tao had great military skills, but it was a pity that his disciples were embarrassed to take on the important task. Faced with this situation, they had nothing to do, they were full of ambition but not strong enough, and they also felt that they were lackluster in front of the other sects.
However, Lu Chen's excellent performance allowed him to see the hope of the rise of Sword Sect. In fact, Lu Chen's performance was even better than he imagined. Murong Xuan, who was responsible for revitalizing Sword Sect, was always under great pressure.
The Qianlong Competition is coming soon, and the only thing he is looking forward to now is that Lu Chen can represent the sect, win glory in the Qianlong Competition, and make the sect look good!
"Disciple, do your best and don't dare to make any guarantees. After all, you also know that there are crouching tigers, hidden dragons and heroes in the land of Kyushu. Many evil characters are dormant and waiting for opportunities. There are many people who are better than me!" Lu Chen bowed and responded.
, although he is the successor of the Peerless Sword Master, he does not dare to be too arrogant.
After all, Kyushu Continent is a vast land with rich resources and outstanding people. There are some elites who have amazing hidden strength but are not famous. They are dormant in a corner and secretly accumulating strength, just to one day stand out and become famous. This kind of thing happens a lot.
As the saying goes, talents emerge from generation to generation, and the era represented by the Unparalleled Sword Master has passed. Maybe, in some unknown corner, a hidden dragon is awakening.
"Well, that's right. Compared to Su Xingbai and others, your kind of temperament is really rare. In terms of maturity and prudentness, you have already surpassed them. Although there are crouching tigers, hidden dragons and countless geniuses in the land of Kyushu, you are not bad either. I
I have great confidence in you!" Murong Xuan looked at Lu Chen with satisfaction, as if he were looking at a piece of raw jade.
"Then what should I do with this Xuanqing heavy sword?" Lu Chen looked at the Xuanqing heavy sword in his hand and asked doubtfully.
Murong Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "You can hold it for now. A sword is given to a hero, and a magical weapon must be matched with its master. The Sword Sect is also one of the eight major sects. There must be something to win in this Qianlong Competition.
Take action!"
Lu Chen was stunned and said with an embarrassed look: "But my disciple is good at using soft swords. I'm afraid it won't be suitable for me to use this heavy sword!" Of course, this is false. He is the descendant of the Peerless Sword Master, so why not?
Using the heavy sword is just to conceal your identity!
"It doesn't matter, I will find you a secret book of swordsmanship for practicing epee later. There is still some time before the Qianlong Competition. You are extremely talented and I will personally guide you. I believe you will be able to master it soon. Maybe
, you will be the new generation of unparalleled swordsman of the Sword Sect in the future!" Murong Xuan had a smile on his face, full of expectations for Lu Chen.
"Unparalleled Sword Master?" Lu Chen is also looking forward to such a day!
Murong Xuan said seriously: "Lu Chen, I have something to ask you solemnly. Are you willing to be my closed disciple?"
"Sect Master, do you plan to accept me as a disciple?" Lu Chen was slightly shocked when he heard Murong Xuan's words. It seems that Murong Xuan valued him very much! He personally accepted him as his disciple, which was unprecedented in the entire Sword Sect.
Lu Chen was a little hesitant. It wasn't that he was unwilling. In fact, before he entered the Sword Sect, he had already joined the Hidden World Sect Tianji Sect. His master Yao Chi was his mentor. Now that he has switched to another sect, does this count?
Is this considered deviant?
In the future, how should he explain his identity when he returns to Tianji Sect, and how should he face his master Yao Chi?
"What are you hesitating about?" Murong Xuan looked puzzled when he saw Lu Chen's hesitant expression. According to common sense, for other disciples, this is an opportunity that cannot be bought with a lot of money. If it can be placed under the sect leader's door, then
They are all sources of blessings cultivated in previous lives.
Lu Chen pondered for a moment, his expression a little confused: "Sect Master, I will tell you the truth, before joining the Sword Sect, my disciple once worshiped a wandering Taoist as my teacher. He taught me the art for three years, and then asked me to go down the mountain to find opportunities on my own.
That’s why the disciple came to Sword Sect later!”
"Taoist Yunyou? Which sect he is from? Can you explain in detail!" Murong Xuan heard this and his thick eyebrows suddenly tightened. He never expected that Lu Chen had already worshiped someone else's sect before he joined the sect.
!
Taoist Yunyou is naturally his mentor Yao Chi. However, he concealed his joining the Tianji Sect because he did not want to expose all his identity and origins.
"The master's name is Yao Chi. He travels all over the world all the year round and has no fixed residence. As for what sect he is a disciple of, it is unknown. But back then, he saw that I had good bones and extraordinary talents, so he accepted me as his disciple and taught his disciples carefully.
Three years later, the master threw away his hands and left, leaving me to see what my destiny will be like in the future! Disciple swears that he will never have any second thoughts towards the Sword Sect." Lu Chen said respectfully, most of the facts were fabricated by him. Of course, he
This is just to protect Tianji Sect from being known to the world!
"Master, let me in. Your practice depends on the individual! No wonder, at such a young age, your strength is so amazing. It turns out that you are taught by an expert behind your back." Murong Xuan saw Lu Chen's face was sincere and showed no treachery, so he believed in his words.
.
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said: "That's why the disciple hesitates. The sect master must not be surprised!"
"Of course not. How could I, the master of my sect, argue with a junior like you?" Murong Xuan put his hands behind his back and laughed loudly: "As the saying goes, when three people are together, there must be my master. I believe that your master was indeed the master back then.
Seeing that you have good bones, I accepted you as my disciple. But now that your master is away and no one is there to teach you, it is like a blind man touching an elephant. The path of spiritual practice is bound to take a detour. I am doing it for your own good and will not force you to do anything against your conscience.
Regarding the matter, I believe that your master is also an open-minded person and will not be the kind of old stubborn who sticks to the rules!"
"Lu Chen, the road to spiritual practice is long and arduous. Although you have achieved some success now, don't be too arrogant. The road ahead is more tortuous than you imagined. Without the guidance of a famous teacher, no matter how talented you are,
Gao, if you go further and further down the side road, then your good years will be wasted!"
"Of course, it's up to you whether you want to be my apprentice or not. I won't force you to do anything!" Murong Xuan said seriously, as if an elder cares about his younger generation.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. What Murong Xuan said was not unreasonable. Although he joined the Tianji Sect, the sect did not object to his rule of worshiping others as his disciples.
Isn't the purpose of studying under a teacher to improve yourself and become stronger step by step? What reason is there to refuse?
